Founder & CEO @ Provizual — We make inspection progress visual, so your project stays on track

Life Update! Im a Dad! I've had a lot of people tell me I'm crazy for leaving a solid job to jump into the world of entrepreneurship and start Provizual... but then I tell them I have a newborn and they think I'm absolutely insane. But I was reminded something this morning during a sunrise bottle feeding... Its always darkest, before the dawn. As I sat in the living room staring blankly out the window as a normal sleep deprived dad often does, I noticed it start to get darker. Its something I often experienced as a duck hunter, but in that season of life it meant it was almost time to shoot ducks. But this morning, as the full moon went away and it got to the darkest point of the night, for a brief moment I thought I could try to sneak in a few extra minutes of sleep. And at that moment I got projectile spit up on. But I knew the dawn was coming, the sun would be coming out, and her mom would be waking up to take over (I Love you Kendall!) It often gets harder before it gets better. Thats how we grow. This little baby is pushing me to get better each day. She may not know it yet, but she lit a fire under me to keep grinding every day.
